I grew up in the tenements of post-war Glasgow. I am very proud to be working class, and especially a working class Glaswegian who has worked in the shipyards . I come from the working class. And, most of all, I come from Scotland.
Scotland is a unique and wonderful place. It’s national motto says a lot about it: Nemo me impune laccessit. A decent translation might be “By all means punch me in the nose but prepare yourself for a kick in the arse.”
I didnae come from nothing: I come from Scotland. And this book is about why I will always be happy and proud that I do.
